In this life, I will drink the long wind

Ha, Yanqing chuckled softly, as if admiringly said: "But in a short period of time, Mr. Xun has gone through a lot of thinking and thinking, and his mind has turned back and forth. He really deserves to be the No. A talented man, the ingenuity of his mind is really unmatched by anyone in the world, I admire you."

Yao Lingyun raised his voice and smiled: "Brother Yan is absurd, I'm just telling the truth."

Neither humble nor overbearing, calm and moderate.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Xun is eloquent and has a good manner." Yanqing clapped his hands in praise, stepped closer and raised his eyebrows unhurriedly, "However, Mr. Xun is not going to explain the deception that day? In the past few days, brother Chongzhi has been waiting for the young master to find him."

Yao Lingyun spread his hands together when he heard the words, blinked, and said innocently: "My name is Xun, and my name is Lingyun. I have always been friends with my real name, and I have never deliberately deceived you?"

Yanqing nodded: "Well, I just didn't tell you specifically."

"Sorry." Without warning, Yao Lingyun suddenly said sincerely.

The person who was talking so eloquently suddenly apologized sincerely, and Yan Qing, who was preoccupied with reason, felt that he was too aggressive for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and subconsciously opened his mouth to persuade: "It's okay."

As if waiting for him to say this, Yao Lingyun narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "I know Brother Yan, you are not such a fussy person. Everything in the world is worthless, so you don't care about it."

Being put down again, Yan Qing smirked and said: "If this place is not the Daxiang Palace, the gathering center of the world's authority, I would still be looking for a young master who wants to cultivate Taoism and become a fairy, and abandon the mundane world."

Yao Lingyun heard the slight irony in his words, smiled, pretended not to understand, followed the other person's superficial meaning, and continued with some regret: "Hey, don't tell me, I really had this The idea is that I am only an ordinary person, and it is impossible to cultivate immortals, as long as I am not a ghost after death, I will be satisfied."

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Brother Ling Yun also believes that there are ghosts in this world?"

Yao Lingyun: "Brother Yan, don't you believe me?"

Yanqing first smiled lightly, and then sighed: "Brother Ling Yun is plotting against people again, answering questions with questions is one of the most cunning tricks in the world, Mr. Xun is a model for scholars in the world, this is really unacceptable Pick."

Yao Lingyun touched his chin with his hand, and said: "There are so many restrictions on this model, I suddenly don't want to do it."

"..."

"I'm joking, don't look at me like that."

Elegant with a touch of humor, this is what Yanqing knew about Mr. Xun fifteen minutes ago.

And this cognition changed slightly during the conversation at this moment, but Yanqing deserved to be Yanqing, he accepted the other party's more open-minded temperament very well, and even appreciated it even more.

"It's up to you. Not just any scholar can have the opportunity to make a contract with the Emperor Qiangu. I'm afraid this model Mr. Xun will not be able to escape."

Yao Lingyun raised his eyebrows lightly, then turned his eyes away, looked at the naked Mei Lin, and said in a low voice, "I naturally want to believe, ghosts and gods, if there are gods, how can there be no ghosts?" The smell of alcohol on his body was completely gone. Blown away by the night wind, Yao Lingyun faced the stars in the sky, turned his head and smiled and said, "Daxiang holds a grand ceremony to worship the heavens every year. The emperor sacrifices to the heavens, praying for the emperor's queen to protect the common people. Since you and I have entered the court as officials, it is natural to be an official." Taking the belief of the imperial court as the belief, if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were not united as one, how could the world be smooth and the country peaceful and the people safe?"

His gaze unexpectedly met a pair of pupils. After being drunk, he didn't know that the sky was in the water, and the boat was full of clear dreams pressing the galaxy. It was nothing more than that, Yan Qing was slightly startled, and then the corners of his lips curled up, showing a smile.

"Listen to your words and be taught."

Just as Yao Lingyun was about to speak, an abrupt voice came in.

"Looking for the son."

Yao Lingyun looked sideways when he heard the sound, the person who came was a young eunuch next to Yan Chen, he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

The young eunuchs bowed to the two of them one by one, bowed and said: "The young master has not returned from the banquet, His Royal Highness is very worried, so he sent servants to come and see."

Yao Lingyun was surprised for a moment, how long has it been?

"Your Majesty ordered tonight, my lord." The little eunuch paused, and said with a smile on his face, "He and Tan Hualang are both protagonists, so we shouldn't be absent for too long."

The people who can stand out from His Majesty's side are really extraordinary, this little eunuch is also a fine person, Yan Qing felt deeply.

Yao Lingyun kept silent, and wanted to return to his seat quietly when no one noticed.

A few steps away from the position, Ning Wang Yanxiao suddenly took the cup and teased: "Young Master Xun, as the protagonist of this Qionglin Banquet, quietly left the banquet and did not return for a long time. He should be punished."

King Ning seemed to be at ease and didn't care much, but his voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly.

When Yao Lingyun left his position, the others naturally noticed it, and they just didn't know it. After King Ning said this, everyone couldn't pretend to be blind, and they all looked sideways.

Seeing this, Yao Xun sighed in his heart. For the first time in his life, he had the urge to run away, but he didn't run away after all. Fill three glasses of wine and drink them all.

"What the prince said is true, I accept the punishment."

"Okay." Yan Xiao put down the wine glass in his hand, applauded, glanced away, seemingly unintentionally brushing past Yao Mengxuan who was not far away, and said with a smile, "Mr. Xun is much better at drinking than your father."

Hearing King Ning mention Yao Mengxuan's drinking capacity, all the ministers laughed out loud.

Right Prime Minister is famous for his ability to drink in just one glass and his knowledge of governing the country.

Yao Mengxuan only frowned, but didn't say anything.

Before Yao Lingyun could practice Tai Chi again, Yan Xu, who was sitting quietly beside him, suddenly said, "Looking at Mr. Xun's posture, he must be able to drink for another three hundred rounds." Yan Xu smiled, and his star-like eyes blinked once. Blinking, like a childish child, "My lords, you can't do it, you can't compare to Mr. Xun in writing poems and composing music, and you can't drink as well, so it's too much to say?"

As soon as Yan Xu's words came out, the officials refused to accept, and each of them picked up their wine glasses.

As a result, Yao Lingyun, who returned to the banquet, was dragged by the crowd to drink several rounds of wine.

Yan Xu was in a good mood, watching with a smile on his face.

☆、Drunk wit

After the banquet was over, Yao Lingyun, who was force-fed and didn't know where to go, stayed in the East Palace that night.

After giving Yao Lingyun special instructions for a while, Yao Mengxuan got up and left the banquet. At this time, the people who left the banquet were almost gone. Yao Mengxuan was walking on the long corridor leaving the palace, and the echo of his feet stepping on the wooden corridor was weak and deep.

At the other end, Ning Wang Yanxiao was slowly walking towards Yao Mengxuan from another winding corridor.

At the end of the two forked roads, the famous general and chancellor of the Daxiang Dynasty met on a narrow road.

Yao Mengxuan didn't look sideways, as if there was nothing in his eyes, he went straight forward, turning a blind eye.

King Ning is the same.

The two walked side by side with a distance of half a zhang. After a long silence, Yan Xiao spoke first, "President Yao."

Yao Mengxuan: "My lord."

The two titles leave a clear boundary line.

insurmountable.

Yan Xiao smiled indifferently, as if the two of them were just the most ordinary colleagues, and congratulated: "The Prime Minister's family has a champion, Mr. Xun has lived up to everyone's expectations and won the title of champion. My king congratulates again."

"My lord, you're being polite." Yao Mengxuan also took it lightly.

The night was dark, midnight had passed, and after all the hustle and bustle had dissipated, the originally bustling inner palace was as quiet as this night, with no lights, only the moonlight.

The cold moonlight shone down, reflecting on the pacing two people, but made their figures a little darker.

The road to the gate of the palace is neither long nor short.The two seemed to be living in peace along the way, but both of them knew it, especially Yan Xiao, he knew it, and he could feel that Yao Mengxuan was deliberately keeping a distance from him, a distance called the difference of Tao and not colluding with each other.

The palace gate in front of him was already in front of him, like a ghost, Yan Xiao suddenly said: "Back then, you didn't report to Brother Emperor, I thought you were on my side."

Yao Mengxuan paused when he heard the sound, and when he turned his head, he met Yan Xiao's dark eyes looking sideways. At that moment, he saw a lot in his eyes, puzzlement, loneliness, and desolation.The past and the past rushed into his mind uncontrollably, which made Yao Lingyun a little stunned for a moment.

They used to be the best brothers, the strongest partners, and the best comrades in arms.

Daxiang's double walls stare at each other.

At this moment, Yao Mengxuan suddenly felt that his heart as hard as iron seemed to have cracked a small hole, and he almost wanted to be seen through the softness inside. Disharmony between each other is a great hindrance to the country."

"Really?" Yan Xiao sneered, narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and raised the end of his eyes with a hint of a smile that was not a smile, seemingly heartless and mixed with too much emotion, "For the sake of peace in the world in the future Ha, that’s really hard for you, Yao Xiang’s sentiments are really moving.”

Yao Mengxuan remained silent, only glanced coldly, and stepped forward again.

Yan Xiao stayed where he was, watching Yao Mengxuan stepping out step by step, slowly passing him, and walking in front of him.

That person was only wearing the most plain blue official robe, but in Yan Xiao's eyes, there seemed to be a faint halo of light, which made him unable to move his eyes away.

"Ah Xuan."

Yao Mengxuan, who had walked a foot away, suddenly froze when he heard the words.

A title, it sounds like a stone falling into a lake in the ears, causing ripples, and the lake of heart trembles.

"Although you have failed me, I have never failed you."

Yao Mengxuan laughed, he didn't know how he said it, but he heard his voice.

"Everything has a cause and an effect, and a cause creates an effect."

If there had been no Battle of Nanping, no differences or breakups, no conspiracy and no interests, would everything have been different? This was the first time Yao Mengxuan had such a question in his heart for many years.

Will not.

After a short pause, Yao Mengxuan smiled wryly, what if what had already happened?Step by step step forward, step by step away.

"Ha." Yan Xiao laughed at himself and asked himself, what are you expecting?

The night is dark, the moonlight is just right, the starlight is thin, and the breeze is blowing.

After returning to the palace, Yan Chen washed and changed clothes under the service of the palace servants.

When he got everything sorted out and turned around to come to the room where Yao Lingyun was, he saw Yao Lingyun still sitting in front of the table. He was leaning slightly sideways on the table, with his hands resting on his cheeks. His face was drowsy.

And several palace attendants stood beside him, looking at each other, in a dilemma, not knowing where to start.

Yan Chen chuckled, and signaled everyone to back down.

A room of palace people filed out and closed the door for the two of them.

When there were only him and himself left in the dormitory, Yan Chen stepped up to Yao Lingyun's side, raised his hand and brushed Yao Lingyun's hair scattered between his foreheads, and the voice that came out couldn't help adding a few more words. Very soft.

"Still uncomfortable?"

Yao Lingyun hummed a few times, but didn't reply.

The warm yellow candlelight hit Yao Lingyun's face, showing a trace of fragility on his side face. Yan Chen lowered his eyes and looked at it, his heart suddenly softened in a mess.After standing still for a while, Yan Chen raised both hands placed by his side at the same time, supporting Yao Lingyun's face with one hand, and covering Yao Lingyun's hand that was supporting his cheek with the other hand, and pulled Next, leaned over slightly and kissed his forehead, the soft lips and tongue slowly slid along the bridge of the nose to the other's lips, pecked briskly, and parted without waiting to go deeper.

Yan Chen looked at Yao Lingyun with a smile, lowered his voice, and half-coaxed and half-deceived: "Hey, can you drink this bowl of hangover soup first? You will feel better after drinking it."

Yao Lingyun leaned softly on Yan Chen's chest, and raised his eyes upon hearing this, but remained silent, not even halfway to touch the bowl of hangover soup.

Yao Lingyun was wearing a crimson crown dress tonight, the color was extremely bright, adding a touch of glamour to his already handsome face, but due to drinking too much tonight, his cheeks were flushed, he was emotional, and became emotional , just this one look, the eyes between the eyebrows are already infinitely romantic.

Such colors made Yan Chen's heart beat faster, he raised his hand and pinched the other's nose, and said in a low voice, "Why are you so cute?"

"Because you're not cute at all, that's why you make me so cute." Yao Lingyun smiled sullenly, very proud.

Even though he was drunk, he still answered the questions fluently. The number one genius in the world is definitely not in vain.

Yan Chen also smiled with a good temper, and did not refute him, turned around and sat beside him, letting him lean on him comfortably, picked up the hangover soup on the table, and fed him to drink one mouthful at a time. The bowl bottomed out, and then he reached out to wipe the soup stains from the corner of his mouth with gentle eyes and gentle movements.

Yao Lingyun didn't resist, and he drank a spoonful of the other party's feed, which was very cooperative, and he was very used to it.

"It's all your fourth brother's fault." Dazed Yao Lingyun still remembered who the culprit was, and complained.

His appearance was already outstanding, but now with a ignorant complaint on his face, his lethality doubled by acting like a spoiled child.

"Well, tomorrow I will severely punish him and vent your anger on you. How about we rest for tonight?" Yan Chen answered kindly.

"You lied to me, that's why you don't want to punish him." Yao Lingyun's tone was extremely dissatisfied, "Everyone in your family knows how to spoil him, and he is almost spoiled by you."

Yan Chen pretended to be serious with others and said: "You belong to my family too, but you never spoil him."

"He doesn't care what I can do." Yao Lingyun said while remembering the nails he hit on Yan Xu when he was young, snorted, supported Yan Chen's chest, straightened up unsteadily, and warned, "In the future, you will also Don't pet him anymore, do you hear?" After speaking, he leaned back comfortably and said vaguely, "You can only pet me alone."

Yan Chen laughed, not as knowledgeable as a drunkard, and nodded: "Okay." As for whether it will be implemented in the end, let's talk about it separately, "So Mr. Xun is in a better mood now? Can we go to bed? ?”

Yao Lingyun hesitated for a while: "I'll think about it."

"It still needs to be considered. I'm already so sincere."

"If it weren't for your sincerity, I wouldn't even bother to think about it."

"Then shouldn't I give you a break?"

"Of course."

……

The two sat and dawdled for a while, Yan Chen put his arms around Yao Lingyun, rubbing his neck lightly from time to time, after a long while, he got up and hugged him to the bed, and took off his clothes with his own hands , Wring out a wet cloth, and wipe it hastily.

After all, he seldom does the work of serving people, so he is not very skilled.

"Achen."

After Yan Chen had arranged everything, he turned his head and saw Yao Lingyun lazily leaning on the bed and looking at him, his dark eyes were shining brightly.

Being drunk is really clingy, Yan Chen's heart moved, he shook his head helplessly and amusedly, and walked closer, before he had time to say anything, Yao Lingyun who closed his eyes again chuckled again, He called again very satisfied.

"Achen."

"I'm here." Yan Chen approached and clasped his fingers, but felt a burst of coldness, couldn't help but frowned, and said: "Sleep, I'm here."

Yao Lingyun groaned, his whole body was limp, and he leaned against Yan Chen's body weakly, his eyes were still closed, and it took a long time before he said slowly, "I'll listen to you."

This is a side of him that has never been shown before, and Yan Chen is very useful, taking advantage of the opportunity to hug him into his arms, go to bed, and sleep.

☆、Snow night cooking wine

Autumn goes and winter comes, time passes like water.

Yao Lingyun, the top student in high school, is in the household department, in charge of the country's territory and taxes, and stabilizes Daxiang's throat.Other high school candidates either entered the Imperial Academy, or entered the Sixth Division.Everything is moving forward in an orderly manner, and the entire Daxiang is politically clear, presenting a scene of clear rivers and clear seas.

However, this year's winter was extremely cold. Before the beginning of winter, the profuse snow had begun to fall one after another.

On this day, the weather was gloomy, and under the gray sky, snowflakes in the shape of six diamonds drifted down from the sky with arcs, scattering silvery white all over the ground.

Yan Xu, who had nothing to do in the mansion and wanted to go out for a walk in the snow on a whim, was wrapped up in a white and harmless round dumpling in Yu Qingyuan.

Although Yan Xu protested against this, it was nothing but the butler's insistence on going his own way.

The mellow dumpling Yan Xu strode across the thick snow step by step. The peculiar texture of the snow made him involuntarily slow down his steps, pausing every step until he stopped slowly.

"Your Highness?" Seeing this, Yu Qingyuan, who was holding an umbrella behind him, couldn't help asking in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Yan Xu, who stopped walking, looked around at the ground, and the memory of Yan Chen secretly taking him out to see plum blossoms when Emperor Qi was not paying attention when he was young, could not help but be awakened, and his expressionless face softened unconsciously.

"Send someone into the palace to tell His Royal Highness that the prince wants to visit the palace."

While speaking, Yan Xu turned around and looked back, his eyes concealed expectation, and the corner of his mouth was stained with a joyful smile, seeing that Yu Qingyuan's expression darkened, but only for a moment, he returned to his usual meticulousness, He continued sternly: "Yes, will His Highness return home tonight?"

"I won't go back." Yan Xu waved his hand, "You don't have to follow, just go back."

Yu Qingyuan shook his head: "Although the snow is not heavy, it is not good to fall on the body. I will send His Highness to the sedan chair."

Yan Xu glanced at him and smiled: "It's up to you, I think you can't get rid of the old lady's life."

Yu Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged, and his voice did not change, he said: "If Your Highness can be more obedient and obedient, and don't make up his mind for a while, then I don't have to be so troublesome."

The smile on Yan Xu's face did not diminish, but the meaning changed, a little arrogant, with some teasing, but without the slightest malice, he snorted lightly, and said rather vexatiously: "But I think my mother Qingyuan is very good, see In order to maintain your state, this prince needs to be more self-willed in the future."

Yu Qingyuan looked at him and shook his head helplessly.

"Be careful with your feet."

East Palace.

Yan Chen was picking up the pen and licking the ink, concentrating on it, the pen fell evenly, the ink was winding vigorously, the pen traveled among the dragons, the palace people outside the house came to report softly, the Fourth Highness came to visit, he had already set off from the mansion, and would arrive soon.

Yan Chen nodded to signal the other party to go down and prepare, and finished with a final swipe, and hung the pen back to the pen stand.

Yao Lingyun, who was leaning on the couch reading a book, leaned over and stood up.

"how?"

Yao Lingyun shrugged and sighed: "Since the Fourth Highness is coming, I'd better go back to the residence first, it's getting late."

Yan Chen looked at the gloomy sky, pondered for a while, nodded in agreement, smiled, and said, "I really don't know if you two don't get along."

Yao Lingyun also laughed, and nodded seriously: "I think so."

Yan Chen: "Young Master Xun, who was able to win the hearts of the world, was defeated by the fourth younger brother. This is unreasonable. Isn't Xun Qing going to work hard to bring this character back on the right track?"

"How does Your Highness know that I have not thought about it?" Yao Lingyun sighed for a long time, and then said, "Building a good relationship between people is like curing a disease, and we must proceed step by step, and I am currently in the process of healing. "

Yan Chen nodded with the original expression on his face, and then asked a question.

"Then why doesn't my prince see any effect?"

"It really makes my brother too cunning. I advance and he retreats, and I tire him out. It's really a headache. That's why this humble minister asserts that I don't agree with him."

"Then Xunqing is going to give up?"

"Of course not, but we need a different method." Yao Lingyun raised his eyebrows, and after finishing speaking, he turned and walked out.

"Appreciate further details."

As Yao Lingyun stepped out, Yan Chen also stepped forward and saw him off.

The door opened, the coldness and the warmth of the room suddenly touched, and the wide sleeves instantly puffed up. Yao Lingyun turned around a few steps ahead of Yanchen, shook his head slightly, and signaled the other party not to see him off.

"Ignore him, pay attention to him strategically, but in terms of tactics, we must completely despise him, so that he can no longer feel that he is in an advantageous position, otherwise he will only make more progress."

After speaking, Yao Lingyun walked down the steps.

Yan Chen stood on the steps, smiling as he watched the other party slowly walk away step by step.

After Yao Lingyun's figure disappeared, Yan Chen didn't leave, he just stood by the door, and within a quarter of an hour, within sight, Yan Xu came slowly from far to near.

When a person is in a good mood, no matter what kind of scenery comes into his eyes, it is beautiful, even the unaesthetic snow that is trampled by passers-by.

Pass through the long street and enter the palace gate.

Yan Xu stepped down from the sedan chair and climbed up the steps. From a distance, he saw someone standing in front of the door to greet him.

As soon as that figure came into view, it burned Yan Xu's pupils, and broke straight into the depths of his heart.

Yan Xu smiled brightly, and stepped forward quickly.

"Big brother!"

"Slow down, the snowy road is slippery." Yan Chen ordered, and the man stepped forward a few steps, stretched out his hand to greet him, and then led him in, and helped him untie the big scorpion and handed him over to the servants on the side. Serve warm tea.

Yan Xu said with a smile: "Today I happened to take some new snow to make tea, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"

The indoor environment is no better than the outside, as warm as a spring day.

However, after entering the inner room, Yan Xu's original good mood disappeared without a trace like snowflakes isolated outside the house.

The books on the couch beside him, the pastries and tea that have been used but have not been tidied up all indicate that not long ago, there was someone visiting here, and after hearing what Yan Chen said, who is that person? it goes without saying.

Besides Yao Lingyun, who else would have the pleasure of brewing tea with fresh snow in the East Palace?

Yan Xu lowered his head, his gloomy expression was fleeting.After calming down, he raised his hand to pick up the teacup, carefully looked at the curling green smoke on it, took a sip, then put it down, frowned, and said in distaste: "Tea is good tea, and water is also good water. It’s just that the craftsmanship of the tea maker is really bad.”

Yan Chen was startled, and looked up at Yan Xu.

Yan Xu blinked, with a pure and innocent face.

Yan Xu intended to speak out to ease the relationship between Yan Xu and Yao Lingyun, but seeing Yan Xu's behavior, he knew that the other party would not discuss this topic with him, even if he mentioned it himself, he would still do it like he did several times before. , about it.Yan Chen couldn't help sighing in his heart, pondered for a while, picked up the teacup and took a sip without paying attention, put it away casually, and lightly opened up the topic.

"I never cared about these things, so my subordinates are not elegant and interesting. If you don't like this tea, send someone to change it."

Seeing the other party put down the teacup, a bright smile slipped across Yan Xu's face, and he said, "Drinking tea is not very useful in such a cold day like today, why don't we drink some from the bar brother."

It was snowing heavily outside the house, it was indeed a rare heavy snow, and Yan Chen couldn't help but think of the situation when he was young, and there was a faint warmth in the deep voice, "Okay."

After saying that, he raised his hand to signal the palace servants waiting on the side to serve the wine.

Yan Xu pushed all the teacups and tea sets on the table together, every move was full of childishness.

The palace people who removed the cups and brought the wine came and went quietly, but after a while, the tea on the table had been exchanged for wine.

While waiting, Yan Xu held his chin and complained: "Every time I enter the palace, brother, you don't go out to meet me. Your east palace is too big, and it's a bit deserted. I don't like it."

"It's not a young age. You should act according to the rules and be calm. How can you go out of the palace at will." Yan Chen said while pouring wine, "Occasionally, there are too many things to do, and I don't feel deserted. I'm afraid the fourth brother is used to being idle. would be boring."

"Hey, brother, don't you take the opportunity to teach me a lesson again."

At this time, Yan Xu propped his chin, tilted his head slightly, his posture was very leisurely and lazy, especially like a noble cat, Yan Chen didn't intend to take the opportunity to preach, seeing people like this, let alone say a word of seriousness talk.

"You are the most naughty."

The connivance in Yan Chen's raised brows was like a small hook, hooking Yan Xu's careful heart one by one, Yan Xu didn't want Yan Chen to see the clue, so he turned his head away, Get up and walk around the house.

The sound of small footsteps is clearly audible, Yan Xu has been to this hall countless times, so there is nothing new about it, after walking for a while, when his mood calmed down, Yan Xu strolled back, sat down, and said: "I just feel very boring! Brother, you are all busy, especially in the past few days, and I was rejected when I asked my second brother to come to the house for a briefing, and I went to visit my uncle last night, but it was all in vain."

"Second brother has always been prudent, so how could he mess around with you." Yan Chen said indifferently, after a long silence, he continued, "Mr. Zuo stayed at Baihualou yesterday, so naturally you won't find anyone in his mansion."

Hearing this, Yan Xu raised her head, blinked, and then her astonishment appeared on her face.

"I don't even know the whereabouts of my uncle, where did you know, big brother?"

Seeing the astonished expression on the person's face, Yan Chen explained in a flat tone: "Prime Minister Zuo stayed overnight in Baihualou, and his identity was not concealed. Most of the officials in the court knew about it. Master Zhao and Prime Minister Zuo had arguing about it this morning. , You don’t know if you’re going to rest today.”

As soon as the probing question was uttered, Yan Xu regretted it a little. Yan Chen's expression and answer, which did not change at all, reassured him and annoyed him at the same time.

Yan Xu closed his eyes, raised his glass to hold the wine, and complained lightly: "It's true, Uncle, Master Zhao too, how precious time is spent in arguing about this every morning."

Yan Chen frowned, his gaze became darker, and he admonished in a low tone: "Although this matter is not a big deal, it concerns the reputation of the imperial court. .”

Seeing this, Yan Xu immediately flattered him and said, "Then how does the eldest brother plan to punish uncle?"

Yan Chen: "It has been handed over to the right minister for disposal."

Yan Xu chuckled softly, "It's probably his fault."

Yan Chen: "Axu, be careful with your words."

Yan Xu stuck out his tongue, moved over like when he was a child, and rubbed against Yan Chen: "Brother, it's getting late outside, and the winter snow hasn't stopped outside, how about I stay tonight?"

Yan Chen glanced at the turbulent snow outside through the half-open window, and nodded: "It's really too late to go back at this time, just a while ago, the bedding in the side hall where you recuperated has not been removed, and it is convenient to sweep it every day. "

"Hey, didn't you withdraw?" Disappointment was evident on his face, Yan Xu pulled his face down, "I thought I could have a night talk with brother Chen by candlelight."

Yan Chen's eyes were fixed on Yan Xu's disappointed face, the wind was rustling outside, and the candles were flickering indoors, and after pondering, he said: "If the fourth brother is energetic, he will accompany you naturally, and we can chat with each other with wine. The two brothers have indeed not talked for a long time."

Yan Xu sat back in his original position, and lifted the jug steadily with his hand, and all the wine fell into the cup, and after passing one of them, he raised his glass and signaled: "A toast to elder brother."

Yan Chen raised his glass, and the two were bumped into each other.

The two drank one cup after another, occasionally said a few words, and occasionally looked at each other and smiled. Time was slowly lost in the conversation, and finally fell into silence.

Looking at Yan Chen's side face hidden in the dim candlelight, Yan Xu suddenly recalled many past events, those days when he didn't know the world have passed so long, and now he can only remember them with memories.

Yan Xu was suddenly a little tired, and a feeling similar to a beauty's twilight emerged spontaneously, obviously he was still very young, but he seemed to have tasted all the vicissitudes of life in this world one by one.

Slowly putting down the cup in his hand, Yan Xu took advantage of the situation and leaned on the table.

drunk?

Yan Chen got up and supported Yan Xu's shoulders that fell asleep on the table because he was a little drunk, sighed helplessly, and softly called for someone to bring a cloak, fastened it for Yan Xu, bent over his knees, picked him up, and greeted him Go to the house where I stayed.

Stepping out of the main hall, Yan Xu couldn't help shrinking into Yan Chen's arms when the cold wind hit.Yan Xu seems to be sleeping soundly, but his heart is extremely sober, he is nostalgic for this temperature.

At his age, with his birth, he should have been a person who never knew what to worry about all his life, but he did not expect to be reduced to this point now. His face is still very young, but the wrinkles in his heart seem to have formed an invisible line Deep ravine.

Love to the extreme, hurting others and hurting oneself.

Yan Chen put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, left two people to serve him, then turned and left.

☆, thunder again

The sky is dim and the light rain is weaving.

The whirling drizzle began to fall in the early morning of last night, and it has been drifting for a whole day and night.

Right Prime Minister's House.

Inside the Warm Pavilion, Yao Lingyun in plain clothes was sitting idly, with a chessboard in front of him, black and white intertwined, vertical and horizontal.

As soon as he dropped a black piece, Yao Lingyun picked up another white piece, and with downcast eyes, he quietly watched the chess game, as if in deep thought.

In the room, the fragrance of tea was thick and the emerald green was floating. Yao Lingyun raised his glass and sipped the tea lightly. Just as he was about to drop a white piece, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, and a white piece landed on the chessboard.

Yao Lingyun raised his eyes, and his dark eyes immediately met Yan Chen's.

Seeing him looking up, Yan Chen gave him a slight smile.He smiled very gently. In the cold winter months, Yao Lingyun suddenly felt the green mountains and clear waters, and the spring breeze blowing towards his face, and he was caught off guard.

"Why did you leave the palace?"

Yan Chen sat down opposite the people, sighed softly when he heard the words, and said helplessly: "After the guards took their shifts last night, the deputy commander of the guards took a few people to the market to drink, they didn't speak well, and they beat them up when they drank too much. When I woke up, I happened to be seen by Mr. Zhao who was passing by. Mr. Zhao failed to persuade him, but was affected, and in a rage, he sent all the people into the Eastern Capital government office under the pretext of disturbing public order."

At this point, Yao Lingyun immediately understood that Zhao Ming, the official censor, was famous for being upright and upright, and his eyes were tolerant.Although Fang Xiao, the commander of the Forbidden Army, is impartial and non-partisan in major matters, he has always attached great importance to reputation and integrity, and is extremely protective of his weaknesses.

Therefore, in Commander Fang's eyes, this incident was nothing more than an internal venting and exchange of ideas among his own people, and it did not hurt others. Master Zhao's move was tantamount to shaking a mountain and shaking his face in front of everyone.

Originally, it was nothing more than a trivial matter, but it happened to be these two people who were responsible, so the trivial matter became a major event.The two went to the palace one after another to make a statement, imploring Yan Chen to come forward and uphold justice.

Yan Chen didn't need to describe what happened next, Yao Lingyun could also imagine it.

"So you came out like this?" Yao Lingyun poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"This matter is handled by the government itself, and I don't need to intervene. As for Mr. Zhao and Commander Fang, if I am here, the two adults will probably think about how to persuade me and continue to delve into this matter. Instead, they will get deeper and deeper into the dead end. go inside."

Yan Chen raised his hand to take the tea from Yao Lingyun, took a sip and continued: "Furthermore, this matter is not irreversible. The reason why Fang Qing and the two reacted so intensely is because they are still angry, and time will weaken infinitely." Their initial thoughts, stay in the imperial study room and think about it, I believe they will be able to figure it out soon."

Yao Lingyun put his hand on his chin, turned his face slightly, and watched Yan Chen quietly, the corners of his mouth were slightly turned up, as if he was smiling, but he didn't seem to be.

Yan Chen stared back, as if he couldn't stand the sight in the end, he blinked and said, "What's wrong?"

Yao Lingyun moved his knuckles slightly, nodded his face casually, and sighed, "I'm thinking that His Highness really deserves to be His Highness, even being lazy can be so fresh and refined."

Yan Chen raised his eyebrows, and continued in a leisurely manner: "You used to say that speaking is an art, and you have to practice for a long time to make it seamless." At this point, Yan Chen smiled softly, The laughter was not deep, but not very clear, like the rain outside the house, thick and thick, lingering in Yao Lingyun's heart, and could not go away for a long time, "I have been with Mr. Xun for a long time, and I am close to Zhu Zhechi."

"That's right, I'm good at talking." Yao Lingyun plausibly said what he said with confidence.

Yan Chen looked at him, leaned forward quickly, and landed a gentle kiss on Yao Lingyun's forehead, very lightly and very quickly, and sat back in an instant.

Yao Lingyun subconsciously raised his hand to his forehead, his usually lazy and transparent eyes vaguely contained some deliberate condemnation, his pupils flashed brightly, and he looked like he was about to smile or not.

Yan Chen accepted it calmly, lightly tapped the chessboard with his index finger, and said seriously: "It's your turn to play."

Yao Lingyun lowered his eyes and looked at it: "This game of remnants, the black characters can be said to be completely occupied.
